I believe you are incorrectly reading it, the first character of the state line being a W Marks an idle interrupt thread, W only means swapped out if its an additional character in the section.

man ps
 [...snip...]
 state     The state is given by a sequence of characters, for example,
``RWNA''. The first character indicates the run state of the
               process:

               W       Marks an idle interrupt thread.

Additional characters after these, if any, indicate additional
               state information:
 [...snip...]
               W       The process is swapped out.

Even when there is available memory if an item has already been swapped it wont return to physical memory until the process needs access that memory. Its not uncommon to see systems that had a brief memory constraint leave some swap long after the memory has been cleared up.


Hello.

Thank you for your response.

Using only /ps ax/ doesn't show any process being in swap. How can I determine what processes are being swapped out?
